I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …

Optogenetics may enable mutation-independent, circuit-specific restoration of neuronal
function in neurological diseases. Retinitis pigmentosa is a neurodegenerative eye disease …

Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …

Why are some visual stimuli consciously detected, whereas others remain subliminal? We
investigated the fate of weak visual stimuli in the visual and frontal cortex of awake monkeys …

Novel methods for neuronal entrainment [1–4] provide the unique opportunity to modulate
perceptually relevant brain oscillations [5, 6] in a frequency-specific manner and to study …

Consciousness and its neural mechanisms remain a mystery. Current neuroscientific
theories focus predominantly on the external input/stimulus and the associated stimulus …

In order to understand the working brain as a network, it is essential to identify the
mechanisms by which information is gated between regions. We here propose that …

Evidence has amassed from both animal intracranial recordings and human
electrophysiology that neural oscillatory mechanisms play a critical role in a number of …

Research in cognitive neuroscience has extensively demonstrated that the temporal
dynamics of brain activity are associated with cognitive functioning. The temporal dynamics …
